Landslide (board game)

Landslide (board game)

"Landslide" is the name of two board games about the U.S. presidential elections, where players compete to become the president of the United States.

*The first was published by Parker Brothers in 1971. Up to four players aim to obtain as many electoral votes as they can. The players use their votes to bid for states, and whoever has the most electoral votes at the end of the game is the winner. The game follows the 1970 census, and correctly represents the electoral college apportionment for each state. For example: New York is apportioned 41 electoral votes, representing its 39 congressmen and two senators. California at that time had 45 electoral votes with 43 congressmen and two senators, etc.

*The second was released by Ezakly in 2004. It is a completely different game, with a "Monopoly"-style track around the outside of the board.

The cards contain some humorous citations as "I have left orders to be awakened at any time in case of national emergency, even if I'm in a cabinet meeting". - Ronald Reagan"
